Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

There’ll be no shortage of suitors for him from League 1 or Scotland. If he does go this summer, Peterborough or Hibs would be the most likely.

 

You'd think he'd have his pick of L1 or all but the top 2 of the SPL.

 

Generally, Sheff Wed, Ipswich maybe Sunderland although after my nearby away day this weekend I hope they do it this season.

 

Slater's passing is extremely underrated though. He can really pick a pass when he wants to but he doesn't lose the ball all that often. Most of his passing is fairly safe mind and he's definitely at his best in the holding role. I reckon if you stick him next to top box to box midfielder then he'll look incredible.

Doc's biggest issue is that he's just not technically good enough and sadly he never will be. That isn't going to change now. It's a similar situation to Smallwood, you can keep him around but he won't really play and will probably struggle to make the bench

 

At one point it looked feasible that Toon and TWS might come down and Mackems and the Wendies might come up.

That would be a mint season for aways, especially if Rovrum came up with them and Barnsley sent Reading down. .

 

Yet Smallwood and his ilk, no matter how much derided, always have a place in a successful side.

 

I rather keep Smallwood than Doc, and that's never something I thought I'd be saying at the start of the season.

There's definitely a place for Richie

 

Think Doc gives too many fouls away when coming deep to be a holding mid.

 

What about Moncur? Discuss!

 

Future doesn't look bright, does it?

Has ability, but no consistency.

 

He won't be short of L1 suitors. Suspect he could be a bit of a monster at that level.

He probably deserved more game time this year than he's got. Honeyman ahead of him at no.10 and KLP ahead of him on the left wing, which was meant to be his favoured position, means he just hasn't had a look in.

One of many who'll be heading out of the door

 

This seems to be the consensus now, and he definitely has looked limited on the ball this year, but looking at his goals last season, he was incredible from around the edge of the box. The goal away at Oxford, high up volley on his weaker foot, was a sublime bit of technique and it wasn't exactly a one-off. So he clearly does have some ability but just hasn't been able to show it this season. Maybe it's to do with the pace of the game in this division, more pressing and less time on the ball, or maybe it's something else, but I definitely think there's a player in there.

 

I just don't think he gets the space he needs a level up. Defenders are quicker perhaps and he still needs that extra touch or yard. Think he's under more pressure on the ball in the championship where maybe he was the spare man more often in League1.

Maybe I'm being harsh on the lad. He deserves to stay I'm just not sure he'll be able to get regular game-time in a strengthened midfield, at least following the obligatory shambolic, early-round league cup exit away at a local minnow probably in August or September next season.

Think the lad might find more oportunity elsewhere. He might think his stock is currently higher than it might well be at the end of next season if he stays. That's all.

 

Docherty has been found out in this division, he is technically not good enough, something I think Gerrard saw when he agreed to let him go from Rangers.
He has great energy, which is his redeeming feature, but at this level, having great energy is not enough. The fact that Slater, who is much better on the ball, has now overtaken him, I think Shota has also come to the same opinion as Gerrard.

 

I don’t personally think it’s feasible that Toon & TWS might come down. It’s unlikely, sadly, that either will, but possible one might I suppose. Both? Not a chance

Shame though

 

Don't think The Mags can be relegated Den, as according to some around here, after their summer spend they're gonna be Premier League title contenders next season!

 

And so it begins……….

 

Silly season started already, £150 million for Bowen!
Liverpool, not spending silly money, linked, maybe that price for Newcastle.
Or perhaps Barcelona & Real Madrid, both always skint, but still manages to sign players for a lot of money!
My West Ham supporting mate says they’ve already turned down £70 million, but he also told me, they said they’d let Liverpool sign him for £30 million last year as he’s a Liverpool fan.
Seems they might have changed their minds on that one!

Mate even if our sell on is only 10% that’s a massive income we’ve had for a player that cost us a £50k compensation fee from Hereford.
